Keep your number and WhatsApp with an eSIM

In short

Yes. The Sirocco eSIM is added to your usual line without replacing it: your number does not change, and neither does your WhatsApp account.

What changes, what does not

  • Your mobile data goes through the Sirocco line.
  • Your number stays the one your contacts know. Sirocco plan: Data only.
  • Your calls and texts arrive on your usual line, if it stays on and your plan allows it abroad.

WhatsApp and messaging apps

WhatsApp stays linked to your number: change nothing in the app. WhatsApp messages and calls go through the Sirocco line's data. On iPhone, keep your usual line for iMessage and FaceTime.

The right settings

  • Usual line: on, for calls and texts, data roaming off.
  • Sirocco line: chosen for mobile data, data roaming on.

Turn on data roaming

Frequently asked questions

Will I receive texts from my bank?

Yes, if your usual line stays on and your provider allows it abroad. Outside the European Union, receiving texts may be charged: check with your provider.

Should I turn off my usual SIM?

No. If you turn it off, you will no longer receive calls or texts. Only turn off its data roaming.
